Guide: How to add members and set permissions in Odoo 16.

In a few simple steps, you will learn about some of Odoo's features.

If you have Odoo implemented in your business, it is likely that at some point you will need to add or remove members to your team or configure their permissions. In this basic guide to using Odoo 16 we will show you how to do it. 


1.  How to add users?

To add users or members, first of all you have to go to “settings”, then to “manage users” and finally click on “create”.


After having saved the user with their respective permissions, they will be notified through an invitation via email; an invitation that the person must accept and that will lead them to log in to Odoo.


In addition, if you activate the developer mode, you can assign the type of user you want to that person. 


2.  How to assign permissions?

Once you have created the user, you can assign them the different permissions. Permissions control what a user can see and do in Odoo.


To set them up, you need to go to the “settings” menu and under “users and companies” you will find all the users available to edit and assign the permissions you want.


On this page, in the “access permissions” tab, you can set the models that the user will be able to access. Then, to determine what kind of activities they can perform on those models, you have to go to “access rights”, a little to the right of the previously mentioned tab.


3. How to delete users?

On the other hand, if you want to deactivate a member in Odoo that is not the main one, the procedure is even simpler than the one used to create it. Simply go to “settings”, then “users” and once here, click on “action” and “archive”.


Now that you know how to add members, remove them and set permissions in Odoo 16, you can start using it in your business to manage it in the best possible way.
